The Representative Barrel Proof Bourbon

The Representative Barrel Proof Bourbon is a small-batch, barrel-proof straight bourbon whiskey bottled by Proof & Wood Ventures. Sourced from Ross & Squibb Distillery (MGP) in Indiana and aged in new charred oak barrels for a minimum of four years, this high-rye expression is bottled uncut and non-chill filtered, delivering a bold, dynamic, and full-flavored profile.

Food Pairing: Smoked beef brisket, grilled ribeye steak, rich dark chocolate, pecan pie, or aged sharp cheddar cheese.

Tasting Notes : Deep golden amber in appearance with a rich, full-bodied, and oily mouthfeel.

Nose : Robust vanilla, bright orange citrus, charred oak, brown sugar, and toasted baking spices.

Palate : High-proof warmth balanced with sweet caramel, vanilla, ripe fruit, subtle leather, and a prominent peppery rye spice.

Finish : Long, warm, and lingering with sweet vanilla, oak tannins, and persistent black pepper spice.

Serve : Serve neat in a Glencairn tasting glass, or add a few drops of water to open up the complex flavors and tame the barrel proof intensity.
